TATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY 1 CAMERON AND THE WEEKLY OBSERVER SIXTEEN PAGES SECTION A' VOLUME XLI CAMERON, CLINTON COUNTY, MISSOURI, DECEMBER 1, 1927 NUMBER 40 SUN HE HERE'S THE FORD Speed and Refinement Included In Henry's Offering Prices Almost us Low as Old Model T. Another familiar saying has passed Into history. "It won't be long now," has served its day. Here's the New Ford. After months of secrecy specifications of the much discussed car are available, and tomorrow, Friday, morning, Walter W. Hammer will show In detail at the Ford salesroom just what the New Ford Is and what it will do. Prices are on almost the same level as for the famous Model T, now replaced by the Model A. Here they are: New Old Type Type Tudor Sedan ?495 495 Fordor Sedan ; 570 545 Coupe 495 485 Sport Coupe , 550 Phaeton (touring) : 395 380 Roadster 385 350 Roadster with pickup body 395 381 Chassis 325 300 Truck chassis 400 375 Truck chassis with cab 545 450 Truck chassis with cab and express body 600 515 Truck chassis with cab and stake body 610 Truck chassis with cab and platform body 595 525 The sport coupe and truck chassis with cab and stake body are new models.Specifications regarding performance, appearance and mechanical features of the car present a picture which heretofore has been associated with a considerably higher priced class. Unusual speed and acceleration are among the outstanding features of the new car. It is announced as being able to make 55 to 60 miles an hour, with ease. In recent tests it has made even more without difficulty. What is more important, it is stated that when traveling at such speeds, it holds the road easily, and with comfort to driver and passengers. It is also stated with equal positiveness, however, that it performs in an equally spectacular manner on bad roads. In its design, Mr. Ford has held to his original idea of a car which can meet all condition and types of roads. ; Appreciating the constantly increasing importance of acceleration,- the Ford Motor Company has1 given a great' deal of study to this feature of the new car. In high gear tests with two passengers in a Tudor sedan it has shown an acceleration of from 5 to 25 miles an hour in 8 seconds. The new Ford car also introduces a new type of four-wheel brakes. - An4 exclusive Ford development, they are f the mechanical, ; shoe-expanding type, and are self-centering. The brake pedal and the hand brakes each operate all four brakes.. It is stated that this is the most reliable and simplest type of four-wheel brake, and also the easiest to adjust, all adjustments being made from the outside without removing any parts. An engine that is practically vi-brationless develops 40-horsepower at 2,200 revolutions per minute. This low revolution speed in ratio to the high horsepower is illustrative of the unusual efficiency of the engine. Also, it means longer life, the lower engine speed insuring less wear on engine parts. The low revolution speed is also a substantial factor in lessening vibration. The bore is 3 inches, stroke, 4 inches. The unusually large crankshaft, which is both statically and dynamically balanced, weighs 23 pounds. This balancing, combined with the lightness of aluminum pistons, further combine to reduce vibration and' increase riding and driving comfort and safety. In addition to freedom from vibration, it is announced that the car is unusually quiet, a great deal of attention having been paid to this feature by the Ford engineers in the engine, the timing gears are made of bakelized fabric, which is much quieter than metal. The cams on the camshaft have been so designed as to prevent valve clicking. The coachwork of the car is as distinctive as its performance. There is a noticeable European touch in line and contour. It is not only designed for exterior beauty, but has as well the interior roominess, convenience and luxurious appointments to be found In much higher priced automobiles. On an instrument board of satin-finished nickel are mounted the speedometer, gasoline gage, ammeter and ignition lock, with a dashlight in the center.' The new military-type sun visor, with crown roof and round corners, are features of the closed models. Unusually narrow pillars and very wide doors and windows give maximum vision. Nickeled radiator shell and headlamps further accentuate the exterior attractiveness, while choices of four colors in pyroxylin finish are offered. Simplicity in design has also been carried to the ignition. There is only one coil, in a water-proof case. There are no vibrators to adjust, and no exposed cables to work loose or short circuit from water. The distributor is located in a readily accessible position on top of the engine. Centrifugal water pump, large radiator and airplane propeller-type fan provide a cooling system which makes the car very difficult to overheat, except from abuse, such as running without enough oil, or dry radiator. From 20 to 30 miles to a gallon of gasoline, depending upon driving speed, is the gasoline consumption announced. Feed to carburetor is by gravity. The oiling system, also a distinc- IT IS ADVERTISING CAMERON This IG-Pufre Issue of The Sun One of Three Special Holiday X umbers Boosting Business.

The axle shafts carry none of the weight of the car, the wheels running on roller bearings on the housing. Newly developed springs of the transvers semi-elliptic type and hydraulic shock-absorbers prevent - excessive up-and-down movement : and remove side sway. -; Irreversible steering gear, which prevents shocks from being transmitted back to the hands of the driver, makes handling ; exceptionally easy.

In selecting the first, second, third mythical elevens of the Missouri College Union and honorable mention players, the sports department of the Kansas City Star places Bourette, M. W. C. captain and quarter on the first team, placing him at his regular position quarterback. Duse is given a halfback position on second team; Hodge at end and Metz at fullback on third team; Rushton, end; F. Downing .and Meek, tackles; Shultz and Ketcham, guards; Thomas, center, and Pendleton, Kanan and Walik-er, halfbacks on honorable mention. The Kansas City Journal-Post sports' department places three Wes-leyan men on the first all-star M. C. U. eleven. Bourette is placed at quarter and given the captaincy; Rushton is given an end position, and Duse is placed at right half. This is a splendid recognition of the well-coached machine turned out at Wesleyan this year by Coach Poland and his assistant Prof. Lester Slayton and explains why the Owls swept through the schedule with a clean slate, crowning the closing of the season with a decisive victory over their ancient foe, "Bill Jewell." Following is the line-up of the mythical all-star eleven as picked by the Kansas City Star: Ends Parks, Westminster, and Patterson, Missouri Valley. Tackles Stout, Culver-Stockton, and Hutcherson, Missouri Valley (captain.) Guards, Kime, Tarkio, and McAd-ams Central. Center Hansbrough, Central. Quarterback Bourette, Missouri Wesleyan. Halfbacks Salyer, Missouri Valley, and Walker, William Jewell. Fullback Gray, Central. In speaking of Bourette The Star has this to say: "An offensive gem in Bourette. At quarterback the fleet moving fast shifting flash of Missouri college gridiron, a potent factor in the ever victorious career of the Wesleyan eleven. A fourth-year man and so able to give his team an all-star eleven the benefit of a rich experience and a fine generalship. A good passer, a good place kicker, courteous to oppeneats and to officials and boy, boy, what a runner through a broken field." i The Owls have enjoyed one of the most successful seasons of the college's athletic career and unlimited credit is due the players and coaches in placing Missouri Wesleyan on such a high plane.

The Kansas City Journal-Post sports' department places three Wes-leyan men on the first all-star M. C. U. eleven. Bourette is placed at quarter and given the captaincy; Rushton is given an end position, and Duse is placed at right half. This is a splendid recognition of the well-coached machine turned out at Wesleyan this year by Coach Poland and his assistant Prof. Lester Slayton and explains why the Owls swept through the schedule with a clean slate, crowning the closing of the season with a decisive victory over their ancient foe, "Bill Jewell." Following is the line-up of the mythical all-star eleven as picked by the Kansas City Star: Ends Parks, Westminster, and Patterson, Missouri Valley. Tackles Stout, Culver-Stockton, and Hutcherson, Missouri Valley (captain.) Guards, Kime, Tarkio, and McAd-ams Central. Center Hansbrough, Central. Quarterback Bourette, Missouri Wesleyan. Halfbacks Salyer, Missouri Valley, and Walker, William Jewell. Fullback Gray, Central. In speaking of Bourette The Star has this to say: "An offensive gem in Bourette. At quarterback the fleet moving fast shifting flash of Missouri college gridiron, a potent factor in the ever victorious career of the Wesleyan eleven. A fourth-year man and so able to give his team an all-star eleven the benefit of a rich experience and a fine generalship. A good passer, a good place kicker, courteous to oppeneats and to officials and boy, boy, what a runner through a broken field." i The Owls have enjoyed one of the most successful seasons of the college's athletic career and unlimited credit is due the players and coaches in placing Missouri Wesleyan on such a high plane.
